The three-day festival takes place between 8th and 10th June 2018 at the spiritual home of Metal in Donington Park, Leicestershire. Tickets are available now right here.

On the road since April 2016 and over a hundred shows later, the resurgent Guns N' Roses are back and coming to Download Festival.

Reuniting last year for the first time since 1993, the inimitable Axl Rose, guitar legend Slash and original bassist Duff McKagan, plus Dizzy Reed, Richard Fortus, Frank Ferrer and Melissa Reese have been blowing audiences away worldwide on the aptly named 'Not In This Lifetime' Tour and will stop by Donington on the Saturday night for their first UK Festival appearance of the (almost) classic line-up on legendary form after selling a million tickets across Europe in 2017 alone.

Download Festival promoter Andy Copping said:

"It's great to have this iconic line up of Guns N' Roses headlining at Download. I am sure I am not alone when I say I have been wanting this to happen for years. It will be an incredible show and will be one of the highlights of the Download weekend!"

Last week Download Festival revealed that The Prince Of Darkness, Ozzy Osbourne, will be headlining the Sunday night and one of the world's biggest rock bands, Avenged Sevenfold, will be headlining the Friday night. Guns N' Roses complete the 2018 line-up and will headline the Saturday night.
